BENEFITS:

Deep cleaning Planetary action, cleans all sides of the fibre in a single pass.

Unique planetary agitation eliminates tearing carpet seams and edges.

Floating brushes provide effective cleaning action which reverses brush action every time the unit is engaged extending brush and pad life.

Non-marking wheels for a truly professional finish.

Less operator fatigue, no kick action like single head machines.

Because of the way the triple brush action moves it prevents cable snagging.

The solution is delivered through the centre of the brushes reducing splash and has a non-clog solution valve for uninterrupted operation.

The Cimex machines are belt drive for quiet operation, ideal for hospitals, nursing homes and schools.

Centrally mounted motor gives even brush pressure.

FEATURES:

A unique feature of Cimex Rotary Machines is the patented 400 rpm planetary 3-brush mechanism, incorporating a counter rotating system which not only ensures a more thorough cleaning action, but also allows greater operational control with a torqueless action. This 3-brush system makes the operator's task much easier by reducing operator fatigue due to the tendency to "slide" which can be encountered with a single-brush machine. The unique planetary 3 head counter-rotating design enables the Cimex to scrub in ALL directions with each cleaning pass.

The Cimex has 3 counter-rotating brushes. The 3 brushes spin clockwise while the drive deck turns counter-clockwise. So it’s actually turning in both directions simultaneously, effectively scrubbing all sides of the fibre with each pass. To put this into context, the Cimex is over 6 times more efficient than a standard rotary machine. Three brushes spinning at 400 rpm as compared to one brush turning at 175 rpm means there's a 600% increase in cleaning aggression. In other words, if we were to clean a very dirty carpet with 3 passes using the Cimex it would require 18 passes with a standard rotary machine to accomplish the same thing. And since the brushes are counter-rotating, there's no tip bloom or damage to the carpet. The Cimex can clean 200 - 300 square metres per hour on the average.

What Scrubbing Pads should I use?

We suggest using Fibreplus pads as your No 1 choice for carpet cleaning. The carpets are thoroughly scrubbed using soft synthetic elastomeric pads along with the 3M Instalock pad drivers.
